PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR CAMERA Precautions when taking pictures Do not use the camera where it may come in contact with rain, water or any other liquid, because the camera is not weather, water, or liquid resistant. Should the camera get wet from rain, splashing water, or any other lig- uid, wipe it off immediately with a dry soft cloth. Do not drop the camera or allow it to hit a solid object. If the camera suffers a severe shock or impact, take it to a Pentax service center for inspection. Be careful not to subject the camera to strong vibrations, shock or pressure. Use a cushion to protect the camera when carrying it in a motorcycle, car, boat, etc. Condensation on the interior or the exterior of the camera may be extremely harmful to the camera mechanism as it may cause rust. Furthermore, if the camera is taken from warm temperature to a subfreezing one or vice versa, the formation of icelets may cause damage. In such a case, put the camera into a case or plastic bag so that any changes in temperature difference is minimized. Do not remove it from the bag until temperature has stabilized. Precautions for proper care Use a blower and lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens or the viewfinder window. Never use solvents such as paint thinner, al- cohol or benzene to clean the camera. To clean the external camera surfaces, - but not glass surfaces; using a dry or silicone-treated cloth is recommended. The electric circuits inside the camera con- tain high voltage working parts. Never attempt to disassemble the camera yourself. Precautions for storage Avoid leaving the camera for extended peri- ods in places where temperature and humid- ity are high such as in a car. Do not store the camera in a closet with mothballs or in a case where chemicals are handled. Store it in a place with good air cir- culation to prevent fungus growth. Other precautions The temperature range at which this camera functions properly is 50°C to - 10 °C (122 °F to 14 °F). To maintain optimum performance, it is rec- ommended that the camera be inspected every one or two years. If the camera has not been used for an extended period, or is being prepared for an important photographic ses- ston, it is recommended that you have the camera inspected or test shoot with it. The PENTAX warranty provided only for the repair of defects in materials or work- manship. Damage of any kind cannot be re- paired at no charge under the term of the warranty. If the difficulty is caused as a di- rect result of the product being used in con- ditions as out lined in the other operation contrary to the instructions outlined in this manual, charges will be assessed or a repair quotation will be provided. PRECAUTIONS FOR BATTE TT Misuse of a battery can cause hazards such as leakage, overheating, explosions, etc. The battery should be inserted with the ” +” and ” —” sides facing correctly. Never try to disassemble, short or recharge the battery. Also do not dispose of the bat- tery in a fire, as it may explode. Battery performance may be temporarily hindered in low temperatures, but will re- cover in normal temperatures. Keep a spare battery on hand for replace- ment convenience when shooting outdoors or while traveling. Be sure to store the battery out of the reach of children. Seek medical assistance immedi- ately if accidentally swallowed. When the camera is in a bag, make sure the main switch is off; otherwise, battery power may be wasted if the shutter release button is accidentally pushed. RY USAGE PREPARATIONS BEFORE TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS AP STRAP ATTACHMENT Fit the strap on the camera as illustrated. e Use the illustrated part of the strap for open- ing the battery chamber cover, adjusting the data on the Date model, or pushing the mid- roll rewind button. 7 Ensure that the power is off before replacing the battery. 1.

Service will be rendered, and defective parts will be replaced without cost to you within that period, provided the equipment does not show evidence of impact, sand or liquid damage, mishandling, tamper- ing, battery or chemical corrosion, operation contrary to operating instructions, or modifica- tion by an unauthorized repair shop. The manufacturer or its authorized representatives shall not be liable for any repair or alterations except those made with its written consent and shall not be liable for damages from delay or loss of use or from other indirect or consequen- tial damages of any kind, whether caused by defective material or workmanship or other- wise; and it is expressly agreed that the liability of the manufacturer or its representatives under all guarantees or warranties, whether ex- pressed or implied, is strictly limited to the re- placement of parts as herein before provided. No refunds will be made on repairs performed by non-authorized Pentax service facilities. 32 Procedure During 12-month Warranty Period Any Pentax which proves defective during the 12 month warranty period should be returned to the dealer from whom you purchased the equipment or to the manufacturer. If there is no representative of the manufacturer in your country, send the equipment to the manufac- turer, with postage prepaid. In this case, it will take a considerable length of time before the equipment can be returned to you owing to the complicated customs procedures required. If the equipment is covered by warranty, repairs will be made and parts replaced free of charge, and the equipment will be returned to you upon completion of servicing. If the equipment is not covered by warranty, regular charges of the manufacturer or of its representatives will apply. Shipping charges are to be borne by the owner. If your Pentax was purchased outside of the country where you wish to have it serviced during the warranty period, regular handling and servicing fees maybe charged by the manu. facturer’s representatives in that country. Notwithstanding this, your Pentax returned to the manufacturer will be serviced free of charge according to this procedure and war- ranty policy. In any case, however, shipping charges and cus- toms clearance fees are to be borne by the sender. To prove the date of your purchase when required, please keep the receipts or bills covering the purchase of your equipment for at least a year. Before sending your equipment for servicing, please make sure that you are send- ing it to the manufacture’s authorized represen- tatives or their approved repair shops, unless you are sending it directly to the manufacturer. Always obtain a quotation for the service charge, and only after you accept the quoted service charge, instruct the service station to proceed with the servicing. This warranty does not apply to Pentax prod- ucts purchased in the United States. Therefore, for warranty information regarding Pentax products purchased in the United States, please read the warranty card supplied with your prod- uct.
